there are certain senators who will vote against chuck hagel no matter what. and what they hope to accomplish is to torpedo his nomination. they hope some of the outside groups that are well funded and working hard to try to take his nomination down, that they find a bombshell or smoking gun. other senators say that what they want out of this is just to sort of -- it's push back to show the president that they're not just going to roll over and approve a nominee that they made clear was controversial to begin with. >> a little bit of grand standing there. dana, thank you. hopefully you can take a resecr, as well, but i don't think so. >>> so her father was a president, her grandfather, too. but barbara bush is not interested in politics per se. instead she's dedicating her life to something she call as key human right. i'm up next, but now i'm singing the heartburn blues. hold on, prilosec isn't for fast relief. cue up alka-seltzer. it stops heartburn fast. ♪ oh what a relief it is! so i used my citi thankyou card to pick up some accessories. a new belt. som

chuck hagel and i are friends. i appreciate and honor his service in the vietnam conflict and we have worked together on a number of issues. i have noticed over the years that our views on the united states of america and what we should be doing in the world has diverged rather dramatically, and i guess the best example of that is the surge in iraq. we both knew that we were losing the war in iraq. lindsey graham and i and joe lieberman and others knew we needed a surge and the president somewhat reluctantly adapted the surge and it succeeded. now, what the president did afterwards is another discussion. but chuck hagel, at the time, made the rather unusual statement, at least to me, and said that the most dangerous foreign policy blunder in this country since vietnam, and then, somewhat, in his statement if the foreign relations committee, compared it to the invasion of cambodia. now, that, to me is -- and i've never heard him contradict that statement or change his position about the surge. we lost over 2,000 you
